Available Methods and Accessories
- X-band Resonator
- Variable Temperature (94 K to 473 K)
- UV Light Source (345 nm)
- Electrochemical Cell
Sample Requirements
Samples must have unpaired electron spins for detection. Solution or solid state samples are acceptable.
Summary of Technique
Samples are placed into a microwave cavity while the external magnetic field is changed. Electrons will undergo a change in alignment at the resonant field. This can be done in a quantitative manner.
Information Provided
EPR provides information regarding the magnetic environment about unpaired electrons. The system can detect micrograms of radicals in samples.
